George Kittle: Toss-Up Between Trey Lance, Jimmy Garoppolo
3 years agoSan Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle said it's a toss-up for him when it comes to who he prefers as the starting quarterback in 2022 between second-year signal-caller Trey Lance and veteran Jimmy Garoppolo. "That's the million-dollar question, isn't it?" Kittle said. "That's one reason I'm glad I'm not the head coach of the 49ers. That's all on coach Shanahan. I'll give you both ways. Jimmy G, awesome in the huddle, great leader, directs guys. People go to attention when he's talking. He's got a quick release, he knows the offense. Like I said, been to two NFC Championship games, knows what he's doing. Trey Lance can run, extend plays, does all the play-action stuff incredible, could throw the ball 70 yards. I don't know. It's a toss-up for me." Garoppolo's recovery from offseason surgery will go a long way in deciding whether he's traded before training camp this summer.
